Symptoms & Diagnosis

Diagnosing skin cancer typically involves a combination of visual examination and biopsy. A healthcare professional, often a dermatologist, will first visually inspect any suspicious skin lesions or moles, looking for abnormalities in size, shape, color, or texture that may indicate skin cancer. This visual examination might be aided by a dermatoscope, a tool that provides a magnified view of the skin, allowing for closer inspection of skin lesions.

If a lesion appears suspicious, the next step is usually a biopsy, where a small sample of skin is removed and examined under a microscope to check for cancer cells. Depending on the findings, further testing may be necessary to determine the type and stage of skin cancer, which can guide treatment options. Early detection through regular skin examinations is crucial for effective skin cancer management, as it can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment.

Hormone Therapy

Used for cancers that are sensitive to hormones, such as some breast and prostate cancers. This therapy can block the body's natural hormones to cancer cells or replace them with substances that counteract their effects...

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

PDT involves applying a drug to the skin that becomes active when exposed to a particular type of light. The light activation destroys cancer cells. PDT is used for certain types of early-stage skin cancers and pre-cancerous growths...
